'Jackass' Seasons 1-3 streaming in original MTV versions on Paramount+

May 21 (UPI) -- Paramount+ announced Thursday that Seasons 1-3 of MTV's Jackass are now available to stream. The episodes have been restored to their original versions.

The creators of Jackass requested the seasons be pulled from Paramount+ in 2025. Johnny Knoxville said he discovered the episodes had been re-edited with new music.

"I found this out the hard way last year when attempting to watch them," Knoxville said in a statement. "Kudos to Paramount for giving us the $ to restore the shows to how they initially aired in the first place."

Knoxville created the series with Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze. The show features Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Brandon DiCamillo, Ehren McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Preston Lacy and more performing stunts and pranks.

The gang reunites in the movie Jackass: Best and Last, in theaters June 26.
